Ummm... right, I have four stories up on MNFF at the moment, but my only chaptered one is an incredibly silly humour fic entitled "The Dark Lord's Blog." My favourite characters to write about are Theodore Nott and Voldemort, but my favourite characters to read about are Ron, Luna, Neville, Remus, and Voldemort.

As usual, Mind_Over_Matter's ideas are cool on a stick... I do like the idea of the Weasleys playing in the backyard of the Burrow, though. They have enough people to make up a team all on their own.

I would also like to take this opportunity to behave like an immature child and whine that Mind_Over_Matter gets an unfair advantage because the film of "Order of the Phoenix" comes out one day earlier in Australia than in the USA or Britain.

Whoa. That's a first.
But I'm not going to see it until way after it comes out anyway. The movies annoy me.
Never the less, if it makes you feel any better, I'll plan to go one day after I usually would. *Pats head*

^^ I could so imagine us ending up writing some deeply angsty story from the point of view of the Snitch. Or, you know, a bludger.
ĎI just get hit around all day. Itís not fair.
Donít they understand? Donít they care?
Although a brain, I have none,
I feel as much as anyone.
And yet, still, still, they just take a bat,
And smash me about. Whatís with that?
I pray for the day I get the sack,
But until then, Iíll just try to hit them all back.í

LOL. And the snitch would be like,
ĎHere comes the Seeker. What a cow.
I guess I will be leaving now.
I try to flee, but, somehow,
Sheís caught me. Iím crushedÖ
Ow.í

But, uhÖ thatís so completely off topic itís just not funny.
We really need to get started.

Everyone: Pfft. Easy for you to say.

Yeah, well.
I think we need to at least have a Quidditch team with two full sides, right? Meaning seven on seven. Iím really drawing blanks, which is unpleasant.
The only other point Iíve made was in a PM to wendelin the weird, about maybe setting this in the past. Like, distant past. Come on, am I the only one who has an amusing mental image of the Founders at Hogwarts first ever Quidditch game? Or we could have the Order challenging the Death Eaters/Ministry. OrÖ the students challenging the teachers at Hogwarts.

Iím not going to come up with any ideas that are serious and deep, at least not today. In fact, today my mindís telling me we should write the entire match in rhyme, which (although it would be cool) is utterly unhelpful. What we need to do is be definite on what we want to do, because we seriously need to get to the actual writing part of the show.
And, since I donít want to standing in the middle telling everyone what to do, now I leave this open for someone elseís point of view.

I'm... usually online, due to me having no life. Or at least, I periodically dart over to the computer and check my favourite sites several times a day.

Actually, your Quidditch poem was hilarious. I dare you to submit that to the archive.

Wow, a Death Eaters versus Order Quidditch game would be hysterical! Somehow, due to the fact that I've usually found sports a bit dull, I kind of feel like our match should be funny. And there can be some kind of stakes-- like, the loser has to surrender magic forever or something like that, only less lame. Something that'll make a Voldy/Harry face-off all the more important.

You know what would be interesting? If we were doing something Death Eatery (which goes with the Voldy's Deathpants name that I STILL like), but, like, one of the Death Eaters is afraid of heights, so at the last second, Voldy hires Dudley or something to play one of the positions... I know, random.

If we did the DE's versus Order, the teams could be:
DEATH MUNCHERS:
Voldy
Lucius
Draco
Wormtail
Bellatrix
Fenrir Greyback
Dolohov (or Dudley?)

Yeah, me too. So I guess that works out nicely ^^

Well, I don't want to get flaky with it. I'll finish it and then it'll be submitted, because I nev-
...
Uh, rarely back away from a challenge.

I just had a random idea, when I got a PM from Wendelin the Weird. Voldy's Deathpants could be, like, a Horcrux or something. Voldemort would play Quidditch for a Horcrux. It can be like... That's the only way to destroy it. Or Dumbledore found it and didn't get a chance to destroy it, but to make sure it didn't get into the wrong person's hands he did a magical whammy, so if Voldemort tried to get it back he'd need to play.
Ooh, and *random idea* Voldemort and Harry are the commentators, and not allowed to play. What? Random Voldy/Harry showdowns irk me.

So I would be thinking we like totally need to include Rodolphus. Actually, or a dementor. Whoot for dementor Quidditch players. Also, I have this image of FirstMovie!Hooch's 'I want a nice clean game from all of you'.

Plus, my idea of the good guys is:

Ron

Tonks

Kingsley (because dude.)

Gwenog Jones (Captain? What, Slughorn's contacts have to be good for something.)

Lupin

Charlie. Because his exclusion would be blasphemous. Or maybe Fleur.

SNAPE. And the team would be all like, 'what team's he on exactly?'

Then, there would be supporters maybe. Because I could imagine the twins heckling the beaters from the crowd. Also Ron.

EDIT: Oh, and I just realised (seeing as how we hardly have all the time in the world for this), we should probably be thinking about the structure of the plot too (like... who wins, etc. Because it would be so cool if the snitch split in half or something^^).
Also, about the style of writing too - does anyone have an opinion? Like, about who they'd like to play and all that? Personally, I'm not great with comical Death Eaters...

But Snape would be playing for the Death eaters and at the last minute, if he were Seeker he'd have to hex someone on the other team so the Order side could catch the Snitch, or if he were a Beater he'd beat the bludger into the seeker but at the last second it twitches and hits his Seeker, or something.

Also, I can't do poetry to save my life, but that bit about doing the Quaffle, Bludgers, Snitch (and presumably bats and brooms and hoops) is really quite funny and I like it.

I think Snape should be the referee! He's perfect for it... no one knows which side he's for.

I love the Voldy's Deathpants artpad... and what if the Snitch, like, got liberated by Hermione or something... or WHAT IF IT GOT STUCK IN VOLDY'S ACTUAL DEATHPANTS (which, naturally, he's wearing), so he technically won the game, but then the Snitch would rip his pants, thusly DESTROYING his horcrux? So he also loses.

You all crack me up, although I don't know about Snape as a waterboy. Referee I could do. He'd be all calling fouls on the Order team but hexing the Death Eater team when their backs are turned. :P Non-verbally, of course.
